24x USB External Slim CD-ROM Drive (Black) Reviews
It just spins and spins and never does anything. Just spend the extra $20 and get a decent external dvd-rom instead. It does not work with Windows and I have trouble on Linux too. DO NOT BUY. You would have thought that the CD ROM was perfected by now, but you were wrong about this item.
A cheap solution to keep the old notebook that has a broken CD-ROM drive working. It works out of the box and it uses USB power - no transformer.
No luck. The NB recognized the first disk I put in, but failed to read it. When my netbook arrived, I connected the drive. Frankly, the drive is a finicky piece of crap. The drive came before the netbook, so I connected the drive to my desktop Mac. I then inserted my installation disk for MS Office 07. The denouement of the story is that the NB connects nicely to a Parallels based network. It was just $20, so I don't feel too bad about the purchase, but I clearly should have gone in a differ direction.
It would not read it. You can then install any software using the DVD/CD drive running under Parallels. I bought this drive to upload software to a netbook. I, wistfully, hoped that the drive was simply incompatible with Apple products. It recognized the drive but failed to successfully read the disk either under OS X or Parallels.
Plugged it in and my computer instantly "saw" it. No software needed. Just plug and play. I bought this to replace a finicky drive on my CPU and this solution is DRAMATICALLY cheaper. Worked perfectly right out of the box.
